Lack of opportunity plays right back into lack of good education. Your family made up for it at home. Most do not. Go to the south and you see this in action every second of every day. The south hates education, hates social services, hates

For years, my father would say "that guy using the food bank has an iPhone! I don't have an iPhone, and I'm not poor. How can these people afford iPhones?" It's a generational thing, especially. iPhones are seen as

Just as a personal anechdote: I have cable for one reason -- my local cable provider has a monopoly on the A's. I cannot watch the A's play babeball without a $75 per month Comcast subscription. It is not included with the $30 shi

Employees are already leaving. I'd wager a few people in here have seen candidates coming through interviews in the past week. It's been kinda scary how many ubers are leaving the ship.

I feel like both of your stories could easily be rewritten and replace videogames with sports. Many people spend their high school and college lives completely dedicated to football, basketball, baseball, or hockey with the idea that they&#

OK, now I want to know what games you're playing. I do this too with Starcraft II Arcade offerings.

This is the end. If we think this guy's gonna listen to the people, we're completely wrong.

It absolutely was. Nolan Bushnell, founder of Atari, went on to found another company called Sente [ http://senseis.xmp.net/?Sente ].

It's a really interesting approach, considering how rampant Wii hacking was. Maybe instead of hacking the consoles, pirates will just buy dev kits, paying Nintendo a bit of a premium for the privilege? Maybe they're hoping to make

We're sorta working on this, small though the preservation world is. Frank Cifaldi has founded a non-profit specifically to do this, and themade.org is behind Habitat.

Yes, that's what we're doing. We're rewriting the server on modern systems, not using the Stratus.

Greetings. I am the fellow who instigated all of this when Randy and Chip gave me the source code 4 years ago. A few FAQ answers because everyone always asks the same super nerdy questions: * The current effort is to replace the server, not

I would not quite call it a developer game, just more like a very involved and deep simulation. The barrier to new players is steep, but there are lots of easy-to-use third party tools to make the game more friendly [1]. It's certainly

I used this on my desktop Linux machine now! I love it!

Agreed on the Unity stuff. I think Unity could be fine and dandy on its own, but it should NOT be the default UI for a system designed and distributed under the auspices of being the super inclusive Linux of the 3rd world. Which is kinda wh

I've long ago moved on from this. This was many years ago. We put a lot of Linux desktops in a lot of homes, though. Thousands a year.

Exactly! Those keyboard shortcuts and menu positions are part of my daily WORKFLOW! Stop moving them around and changing them! It is utterly infuriating to have to relearn your desktop GUI behavior. Why is there no such thing as LTS for GUI

LOL, I use this very laptop with XP all the time. Yes, it is slow for modern tasks. But the XP OS is responsive! I can move the mouse, navigate menus, open the text editor. I can do this on this 2001 machine using Debian with no GUI, but no

I think it was the inability for GUI's to stay stable. Gnome went off the rails, Unity completely ruined Ubuntu[1], and KDE always felt very cheap and hard to navigate. My opinion, yes, but I always felt the GUI changes in Linux were e

8 Theaters showing Star Wars movies, only one of those theaters is not 3D.... Sure you can see those movies in non-3D, but they sure like having a lot of 3D versions in the theaters. Nothing I like more than watching a movie wearing 2 pairs

I understood how to tie the knot. The trick was making myself tie that knot instead of the old style. It was an automatic motion.

This man changed how I tie my shoes. This sounds small, but frankly, it was one of the largest changes I have ever made to my life. Why? Because I learned to tie my shoes at the age of 5 or 6. It's something that was ingrained into my

Actually, this is the best answer here. This is basically exactly what shrooms do to the brain.

And Oracle sued over that. Still is suing over that. The suit threatens all of software by declaring APIs exempt from fair use.

They built a replica of the Oval Office as their lobby. I don't think it lasted more than a year. It's all gone now, and not a spec of the original Oval Office is there anymore. It's an open seating area for coffee... Nice bi
